Advertising is always changing due to society and how consumers look at the market. In the last 100 years some of the ways that advertising has changed has been through digitization, with the creation of television and the Internet. Television and the Internet have connected people emotionally through advertisements. Commercials are able to appeal to emotion through the use of sounds, such as music and sound effects. You are also able to see graphics that are associated with the sound and music to make consumers be able to have brand recognition when they hear the song or see the graphics of the commercial. Through the Internet, advertisements have become interactive. For example on Youtube, when a consumer is on the site, at times they have the opportunity to skip through the commercial if the product doesn’t interest them. This is known as voluntary exposure.

The Future

Advertising has made so many advancements in the last 100 years that it is hard to create new ways to capture consumer’s attention. There are so many ads on websites and so many television commercials nowadays that consumer tend to block a lot of exposure to these advertisements out.

My Guesses?

1. Advertising will be more prevalent in our homes. And not just on the television and Internet, but on everyday appliances and products that we use.

2. Advertising will also be more personalized.

Advertising in the Home

Already on products we buy there are advertisements for products to go along with products previously bought. For example, when I buy tea, there is a coupon for a dollar off my next purchase of tea. I believe that there will be more of this kind of advertising because marketers have already gotten their target market and know that with incentives they will keep their customers coming back.

Personalization

Advertising will become more personalized because once a consumer will purchase a product, and there will be recommended products that come along with it. Marketers will know what the consumer will want before the consumer even knows that they want it because of purchasing habits. If consumers are brand loyal then products will be marketed more heavily to those consumers because they know that they will be able to keep those customers. These consumers will more likely to use word of mouth when recommending these new products because of their loyalty to the brand.

For advertising, I believe that the future is very bright. Since society is always changing, advertising will always be changing. Advertising is about finding consumer’s wants and needs. If you don’t adapt to those changing wants and needs, then consumers will start to turn away from products and start to adapt towards new ones. But advertisers know that change is of the essence and appealing to different demographics will help to make advancements in their advertising plan.
